We’ve told you about several portable scanners, and readers have said they simply use their phone’s camera to snap a shot. I’ve tried the photo approach, but I often end up with a crooked image or a dark place that obscures some of the image. That’s fine for casual use, but it won’t work so [...]

I have an e-book reader I’m finding that I want to put everything that I have that is on paper into the device: books, magazine articles, users/owners manuals, cheat-sheets, blah, blah and blah.

We’re a three laptop/one printer household. Our printer/scanner/copier is several years old now, and it still works well – except for one thing. It’s not wireless, and it’s stored in a cabinet with no desk space around it. Printing requires connecting the laptop to the usb cable, balancing the laptop in one arm while getting [...]
